Sverre Jarp is active in the CERN openlab, a joint collaboration with
leading industrial partners in order to assess cutting-edge information
technology for the Large Hadron Colliderís Computing Grid.

He
has been working in computing at CERN for over 35 years and has held various
managerial and technical positions promoting advanced but cost-effective
computing solutions for the Laboratory. In 2001-02 he spent a sabbatical
year in HP Labs (Palo Alto,
USA).
His current fields of interest are, in particular, multi-threaded
programming and performance tuning, but he works hard to keep involved in
all the technical activities in openlab. S. Jarp holds a degree in
Theoretical Physics from the NorwegianUniversity of Science and Technology
(NTNU) in Trondheim.
